Googling a standard format for a resume is a good start. that way you know the general information youll need to fill it out. Basically it is just a work/education history and then explaining your goals and skills. This isnt going to tell you exactly how to write a resume, but this article has a list of great tips as far as what you should focus on, and what you should avoid.

Start off with your name,adress,contact details. Then your personal profile,this should have your skills,ambitions,brief past history and something about you. Next up should be Key Skills: I have Supervisor and management experience on mine,also a emergency first aider,even have full clean driving licence with vehicle(if you have),that goes well with potential employers coz they know that you will be reliable and not gonna get a bus or something,whatever you can think of. Next up should be past Employment History,listing the dates you worked and a brief explanation of your duties. Qualifications ie education,training courses etc. Hobbies and interests:,whatever you like doing but the wording has to be right, example don't write "love going out and getting drunk with my pals" to "like going out and socialising with friends",things like that suggest to bosses or interviewers that your confident and have social skills. The end is usually references,available on request.

With resumés you need a one that's not gonna be too long or too short. Too short its telling them that you haven't acclompished enough in your life or employment history to get the job. Too long then your just babbling on and someone will look at it and will either throw it in the bin or go on to another emailed resumé that's not 5 pages long.

I'm sure there's people that can help you with the wording and presentation of it. Good luck bro.

Make sure you proof read that b---- 4-5 times and get someone else to read it over. As someone who hires 10-12 people a year and sees 100s of resumes let tell you that if I see grammar or spelling mistakes your resume goes right in the trash.

Was that 1 grammar mistake on purpose there lol.. Exactly right though,employers hate that s---.

Don't settle on 1 resume. You should tailor your resume to the position for which you're applying. See what they're looking for, and then show how your past experience demonstrates skills in those areas.

One big thing other then proof reading is to lead with your strong skills that pertain to the job you are applying for. Such as, if you are applying for a management job and have past experience as a supervisor or manager put work history first. Or if you just got out of school and have a degree but minimal work experience lead with that. Tailor each resume to the job you are applying for.

As one who does hiring and has seen resumes of all sorts, some good and some I wondered if they had a 3rd grader write for them, let me say this use a resume writing service. A professional service can make a huge difference in what a hiring manager sees, we usually do not read your entire resume just FYI, there are key items we look for and a pro service will ensure those items are not just in there but also placed in a position we definitely will see them.

I was a warehouse supervisor(technical field) before moving outta NV. Resumes are nice, keep it clean and error free, really pinpoint your objective and relevant experience-the rest was a wash from my experience. Very few people possessed the skills needed for the job, so anything relevant was a selling factor in itself. Most importantly, the interview is key. I've seen so-so resumes, but they had the right experience, during the interview, they were rock stars! Completely sold themselves and more often than not were model employees. Eye contact is the most key thing to me though. People that are not used to hiring others may be surprised to see how few people can actually hold a professional conversation and make eye contact!

Resumes have their place, some fields hold a stricter standard on them, others may not be so strict, but they receive so many resumes/applications that it's a quick streamlined process. All depends on the company/field/location.

No question the interview is THE part to nail, but if a manager gets 50-75 resumes/day the you want to nail that resumes format for the most impact so you get to the interview stage.
